p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder has a very secure knowledge of the procedures to follow should she have concerns about a child's well-being. Her comprehensive daily checks on her home and resources help to ensure that children are safe. The childminder is a qualified teacher, and she uses her skills well to ensure that children develop and learn successfully. She is keen to develop her skills even further and, for example, has attended various courses. She attended a course to support children's early writing, which led to more effective practice. She keeps a close eye on children's progress and readily supports those needing extra help. The childminder reviews activities and assessment regularly to support the best outcomes for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder supports children's early mathematical skills successfully. For instance, she teaches older children to learn to count and recognise numbers as they take part in pretend 'café' play. She helps younger children to learn to count by counting each brick as they play with them. The childminder supports babies' musical development well. For example, she sings songs and gives babies different simple instruments to play. The childminder helps children to gain good communication skills by, for example, talking with them during daily routines, and she gives them time to think and respond.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder has caring, secure relationships with children. She treats them all as individuals and takes time to get to know them well. The childminder uses this knowledge to provide familiar routines to children. They settle well. The childminder helps children to develop good daily routines. For instance, she provides regular opportunities for physical outdoor challenges where children practise crawling, running and balancing, and she provides nutritious meals. Children gain good independence skills. For instance, older children learn to dress themselves and to use the bathroom independently. Younger ones learn to feed themselves and fetch their own drinks. The childminder teaches children good safety awareness, including road safety skills and how to use tools and materials with care and caution.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are confident and motivated to learn. They play cooperatively together, and staff support younger children to learn to share and to take turns well. Children respect themselves and others from different cultural and religious backgrounds. They learn useful skills to support the next stage of their learning.
